"Had such an amazing dining experience here! From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, it instantly felt cozy. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented (you can really tell they cook with care). The service was quick but never rushed, and the atmosphere made it easy to just sit back and enjoy. Definitely one of those places you’d come back to again and again. Highly recommend!"

"The menu was on the pricier side but the quality is good. We got the three cheese pizza which is a large version of the SB flatbread. The taste was fantastic. We also had Americano, Rose Latter, Hot Chocolate drink, and the Ube Macapuno. They all taste amazing! The lemon cake could do a little better as it was an okay. The ambiance and staff are great! Thank you for assisting us JC, Marre and the other guy (sorry I didn’t get your name!). We’ll be back again, thank you so much!"

"We had dinner at Ysmael Kitchen x Bar x Café. We ordered two tenderloin steaks cooked medium rare, but one came out slightly overcooked and tough. They replaced it straight away. Kudos to the server for the quick response and smooth resolution. The service was really good. They kept checking on us and kept us updated, which we truly appreciated. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We did not expect that for the price. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. We will come back to try other dishes."

"I love the food! Emman (server) was very nice. We ordered pasta and we were surprised because we didn't expect the serving for me is good for 3persons. Steak must try too! Good ambiance, perfect!"

"We went here for lunch and ordered 4 items. All of the food was served at a reasonable time. The food serving was generous and we enjoyed all our orders. The Beef Kare kare was super tender and really delicious. The Chicken pesto pasta was delicious, you can taste they used herbs for the recipe. The Cordon bleu and Beef quessadillas also tasted great. It was quite pricey but the serving was generous and definitely worth their price. There were only 3 of us and these orders were definitely too much, these food could be for 4 to 5 persons already. The staffs were also really friendly and accommodating. This place is definitely worth the visit and we'll probably come back here next time."

"I recently visited Ysmael Kitchen x Bar x Cafe, and it was such a pleasant dining experience. The place has a cozy and family-friendly vibe, perfect for both casual get-togethers and relaxed dinners. We started with the calamari, which had a rich seafood flavor that wasn’t overpowered by the breading. The mango kani salad was refreshing and balanced well with the appetizers. For the mains, we tried the Brazilian ribeye and tenderloin steak, both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The special steak sauce was delicious and paired really well with the meat. I also had their Spanish latte, which was smooth and comforting to end the meal. The service stood out just as much as the food. The staff were friendly, fast, and very attentive. I appreciated how they refilled water automatically without needing to ask. It shows how much they value excellent customer experience. Special mention to Ariel, who served us so well throughout the lunch. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. Everything felt worth it. I would definitely recommend Ysmael Kitchen x Bar x Cafe to anyone looking for good food, great coffee, and a warm atmosphere. Ambience and food are perfection."
